On Wednesday afternoon, Kafoto, who was charged under two separate criminal complaints, made his initial Hilo District Court appearance where his bail was maintained at $37,000.00. He was ordered to appear for his preliminary hearings today.

As the first Complaint alleges, Kafoto was charged with Burglary in the Second Degree and Theft in the Second Degree. As the second Complaint alleges, Kafoto was charged with Burglary in the First Degree, Unauthorized Entry Into a Dwelling in the First Degree, Possession of Burglar’s Tools, and two counts of Criminal Trespass in the Second Degree. Burglary in the First Degree and Unauthorized Entry Into a Dwelling in the First Degree are both class B felony offenses which carry a penalty of either a ten-year prison term or four years probation and up to eighteen months in jail.
